Remember big media trying to nominate Jeb (the inevitable Republican nominee) Jeb! Bush in 2016, knowing he would lose to the (can’t miss) Demo Crooked Hillary, the inevitable next president? I’m glad no one followed the script, of course. Astute writer Jeffrey Lord, who worked in the Reagan White House, detected another problem with Jeb! Bush’s candidacy back on Sept. 10, 2015.
“The fact that Bush is so incredibly obtuse about patronizing and condescending to women should be a serious signal of his lack of communication skills as a candidate.”

Here is the fabulous South Carolina Senator Lindsey Grahamnesty in action, sounding a lot like his pal John McPain (Loser-Arizona) or Nelson Rockefeller (RINO-NY) sounded in 1964. Big Media hovered around anti-Goldwater Republicans back then. They loved “mainstream moderate” Republicans who hated Barry Goldwater. Lindsey would’ve fit right in with those people. Lindsey actually said in September 2015 “As a party, we are better to risk losing without Donald Trump than trying to win with him.” That’s right, Lindsey – Donald has no chance and should quit the race. Lindsey has poor political instincts, of course. Where did they find this guy, anyway?
In 1964 liberal Republicans who snubbed or trashed Goldwater, such as Rockefeller, Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton, Chuck Percy (Ill.), Michigan Governor George Romney (Mitt’s father), became instant heroes to the medialeft. They were depicted as respectable moderates, naturally. Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan endorsed Goldwater and campaigned for him, drawing the expected hatred from the media. Republicans who trash their own are always welcomed by the leftstream press.
Remember also that Goldwater in later years lost his mind and turned against Nixon and Reagan, thus becoming a hero to liberals, but that is another crazy but true story. Liberals hated Goldwater in 1964 when he was sharp and loved him (temporarily) after he served their purposes in his last years.[Full Story »]

Dear editor,
Any field medic worth his salt will tell you that the first step in treating the wounded is to stop the bleeding. With the 20 trillion debt that President Trump inherited from the “most transparent administration in history”, former President Obama, the fraud in chief, defunding sanctuary cities is a good first step.
We go from there to the “one world order” United Nations (UN). I have publicly written in opinion letters for years that we need to kick them out of our country.
The UN is no longer the “humanitarian” concept as it began. We have always picked up the lion’s share of its operating coat while it has steadily become a terrorist nation.
Ever wonder why the UN was never hit during 9/11? There is a good reason for that, but there’s one other we need to cut that nobody talks about. We need to stop college grants and any other tax fund that helps any university that has transcended from a learning institution to a “political indoctrination center.”
Good folks don’t take a second mortgage on homes to send their kids to brainwashed, socialist professors.
Just turn on the late night talk shows. Remember Jay Leno’s “jay walking?” Ever see “Water’s World?” Both segments illustrate just how poorly our children understand what’s happening in our country. Heck, these so millennials wouldn’t know the White House from the Waffle House.
Here’s something to remember, these kids are going to be running this country in a few short years. Ever watched some of them trying to count back your change when dinning out or shopping?
We really need to be concerned about what’s being taught in our schools, and it’s not just the universities under assault from these left leaning liberals anymore. It’s our middle schools and high schools.
In the sixth grade of 1959, I wasn’t being taught that our country was inherently evil and arrogant. Everyone else was a “victim.” Now it is perfectly normal to have two parents of the same sex. Millions of your tax dollars are being spent to subsidize perversion as well as constitutional treason. You can take back this country if you will just pull your head wherever it is stuck in (use your imagination on that one) and get off your lazy butt and vote for more right minded and God fearing law makers. While you’re at it, get the “stars and bars” back on the flagpole, too!

Donald Trump said back in March 2016 when asked about his taxes and the Republican establishment was still scoffing at him and his supposed unelectability: “I pay as little taxes as possible.” Good for Donald. Most everyone has this philosophy but few politicians are honest enough to admit it. Donald T. is.
A good reason Donald Trump won – he has a lot more voter appeal than hideous Hillary had (other than the usual free stuff she peddled).
“Trump is much richer but doesn’t talk that way. Hillary sounds more like Jeb Bush – the policy nerd. Not a good year for that!”

Global warming is now re-defined to include global freezing. It’s the old catchall “climate change” these days, a can’t-miss name.
Leftists tried to “Bork” Goldwater, Nixon, Bork, Quayle, Bush 43, Ollie North, Palin, and Trump, among others. To be attacked by the media is a plus to me. Sam Nunn should have been ashamed of himself for voting against Judge Bork for the Supreme Court.
Baseball legend Ty Cobb was lied about for years and still is. Al Stump, sportswriter/hatchet man apparently started the horrible stories after Ty trusted him in interviews only to be stabbed in the back by Stump. Others picked up the horrible media narrative. Ty Cobb was a longtime friend of Coca-Cola magnate Robert Woodruff. Why would Woodruff befriend a hideous social outcast? He wouldn’t. I now see Ty Cobb belatedly getting his reputation back as decent sports historians seek to get to the truth. Too bad he’s not around for the redemption. Ty was an astute investor and was reputed to have a $12 million net worth when he died in 1961. That was huge back then, and still is.[Full Story »]

Dear editor,
What I am about to say is a statement, only a statement, to the general public.
Shortly after 3:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 5, 2017 a huge oak tree in my front yard, due to a twister, crashed through the roof of my house and came to rest on the floor of the house. I was totally unharmed although being in the house. Both ends of the house are still standing, but it is now demolished and unlivable. With less than $600.00 a month from Social Security and with no further reserve anywhere, I haven’t the means to do anything with the tree, the house or the possessions inside.
Although I actually could sleep in my own bed, it is not feasible for me to do so due to the condition to the house. I have no friends or relatives with whom to stay, and of course now, no electricity or running water.
Me being the owner of the house and land, I have found that I have been granted permission to stay on the property and sleep in the car. The immediate help granted to me was by the Red Cross, and that would be gone in five days and, if used, is only to be used for motel expenses.
Car keys, driver’s license and other such things were buried under the tree and are inaccessible. There is sufficient land on the property behind the house for another home.
Any information from anyone as to how I may obtain any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. The location of the site is 3952 Cochran Highway Eastman, GA (Gresston area) on the east side of the highway across from Gresston Baptist Church. Thanks in advance to you all.
I may be called or texted at 478-285-0929. If you cannot contact me at that number you may call 478-231-2822 or 478-374-5744 and leave a message.

Dear editor,
Tyranny of one kind is just as bad as another. One kind of supremacy does not over ride another. While this nation has all but rid itself of human slavery, she if faced with a more devastating slavery and it’s sin. The problem with sin is it deals with the flesh.
It always cares about the here and now. So often we become trapped and even to allow disillusion before we realize it. Americans, or this nation, needs a tow from Heaven’s new wrecker services. With the cable of love, kindness and the power of Calvary’s cross we will be dug out of the murk and miry clay that so easily ensnared us. Then he washes us clean of the world’s filth with grace and mercy and puts us back on the road of peace.
This nation needs to bring its mess to the Messiah. He’ll sort it out for us. This nation must bring its mess to the Messiah for he knows what it is going through. If America would bring her mess to the Messiah he’ll cleanse it with his blood. If this nation would bring its mess to the Messiah he’ll hide it in his love. This nation must bring their mess to the Messiah because he wants to save her soul. The Messiah is at the door knocking and calling both the young and old.
As we look at the actions of the Democrats, Republicans and others it’s just like the pot is talking about the kettle. Citizens of this nation have become so concerned with their own personal view they have lost sense of what is right and wrong. With separation of church and state some Americans are saying that God’s word doesn’t count. It was president George Washington who stated, “No nation will continue to govern without God and the Bible.”
The son of the heavenly father will always be in charge of the universe. As time continues, the slavery of sin will increase. Almighty God, giver and sustainer of life and liberty, grant that as we meet this day that our thoughts may be upon you and on those who have served our land in times or war and peace.
We give you thanks that through their efforts and sacrifices we may enjoy the blessing of this great land. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Sincerely,
Johnny L. Blacke, MSG (R)

Remember the 55 mph speed limit? It was in effect from 1974-1995. Hillary Clinton said she wanted to reinstate it. Maybe she’s afraid we really are running out of gas. At least her political career did so.
Critics claimed Donald Trump needed traditional experience (as a professional politician) but he has a stellar business mind. What has B.H. Obama ever accomplished, in or out of the political game?
Dwight Eisenhower, U.S. Grant and Zachary Taylor had military experience but no political experience before becoming president. Donald Trump graduated from New York Military Academy, close enough for us.
As Dennis Prager reminds us, Donald Trump put women in higher positions than any real estate developer.
Liberal windbag Gen. Colin Powell slams Donald Trump’s immigration plan, more proof that DT is on the right track. I knew early on that Powell was a loser just by listening to media leftists singing his praises. Remember Powellmania about twenty years back? “Republican” Powell brags in his book (I didn’t read it) that he had an All the Way With LBJ sticker on his car in 1964. Bad choice there, general.

Dear editor,
During the week of April 23-29, 2017 the City of Eastman will join other cities across Georgia in celebrating Georgia Cities Week. This week has been set aside to recognize the many services city governments provide and their contribution to a better quality of life in Georgia. Our theme this year is “Cities in the Mix”. We want to highlight the importance of a central gathering place for people and communities.
City government is truly government of, by and for the people – the people who are making the decisions about our community are your neighbors, business owners and community leaders. Cities provide the services and infrastructure to help businesses grow, and set the stage for events where families and individuals can gather as a community.
We recognize that throughout our lifetimes, the average person will have more direct contact with local governments than with state or federal governments. Because of this, we feel a responsibility to ensure that the public knows how the city operates and feels connected to their city government.
During this week, we want to share information about the valuable services that are provided to residents and how they positively impact their quality of life: From historic preservation to trash collection to public safety to promoting the area’s culture and recreation. We hope you will join us in this celebration and learn more about your city and how it operates for you.
The city will be hosting a variety of events during the week of April 23-29. A list of events, time and locations will be published in an up-coming edition of this newspaper. We invite and encourage all citizens of Eastman to participate in the celebration.
Sincerely,
Jason Cobb, Eastman City Manager

Fox Network News has been kicking Judge Andrew Napolitano around and maybe out completely while keeping the years back quota hire liberal loser Juan Williams (Overrated and way overpaid).

Ninety-seven percent of U.S. Justice Department employee political donations went to Hillary Clinton in 2016, says Laura Ingraham, always ready with good info.
Another Obamacrat leftist law professor lands on his feet. Ex- Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara was terminated by Donald Trump (as is the custom when a new president takes office) a few weeks back is now a professor at New York University’s law school, starting April 1. The school declined to disclose Mr. Bharara’s (try saying that name five times quickly) contract and duties. He is considered full-time yet can take in outside legal work in his spare time, they seem to say. Sounds like a comfy ride to me. Liberals take care of their own.
Forty eight U.S. attorneys were terminated, the same procedure followed by presidents Clinton, Bubba Bill and Obama, Barack Hussein. When a Republican does this liberals howl, as they did when G.W. Bush cleared out the holdovers in January 2001. The press figures we’re stupid and will believe incoming Republican presidents are doing something inhumane, maybe even illegal, to those persons terminated – not so.
Worthless Bill Clinton is an open borders fanatic who now claims “Nationalism” is destroying the USA. Of course he has pushed this philosophy for years.
“On that terrible day in 2001 that radical Muslim terrorists launched the most devastating attack on the U.S.A. in history, Bill Clinton was in Australia giving a speech before a group of businessmen. In comments made only ten hours before the towers fell in New York, Bill Clinton said he felt the world would be a better place if there were no national borders.”

Dear editor,
Please allow me to write a few lines to your newspaper to explain an experience I encountered beginning on November 17, 2016 at your local hospital.
I was a surgical patient to have a hernia in the groin area repaired. I was taken into surgery at approximately 11:00 a.m. I was placed in recovery and later dismissed to go home at approximately 1:00 p.m. This is when my ordeal began. I believe that when whoever authorized my release from recover “dropped the ball” and allowed me to go home without being ready. I was not having proper kidney function. That dysfunction continued all evening Thursday and all night Thursday night with only a slight amount of urine being released, each kidney function not nearly enough to relieve the pressure in my bladder. Early Friday morning, after a very long and miserable night, I went approximately 18 miles to the Eastman hospital emergency room and requested they insert a catheter to relieve the pressure and pain. They obliged my request and I experienced pressure relief after a most painful momentary spout of pain. They were making the penetration of the catheter very near a sizeable incision that had been made less than 24 hours before.
Instructions at the emergency room were to follow up with your primary physician, since this was happening on the weekend, I waited until Monday morning and called my doctor about removing the tube and was told by the staff, “We don’t do that procedure.” A second call to the only doctor that I knew in Eastman got a similar reply, “We don’t do that.” It becomes frustrating when you have gone through what I had from Thursday until Monday to find only “no” when you ask for help. Where is the coordination for one to get help? I went back to the emergency room and they did remove the catheter. One of the doctors did come by the emergency room.
Removal of the catheter was another painful procedure. If you have not been there, you can imagine what it is like. I ponder, what can I do to help people avoid an experience like this? I talked to some and tried to some others. Not much luck, but alas, an incident in another facility happened exactly as the first part of my experience was. The man had a hernia repair and was moving toward going home when someone decided to check his kidneys. They weren’t functioning right. His going home was delayed until it was right.
A little attention to duty saved him a lot of pain and suffering. I would appreciate that extra attention. I hope my story will prevent someone from having the experience I had.
Sincerely,
Jack Purser

The Center for Immigration Studies (cis.org) says if a border wall could cut illegal immigration by only 10 percent, it would pay for itself. Savings on Medicaid, welfare and education would more than cover the cost. For those who argue that the wall would be too expensive, immigration expert Allan Wall responds:
“I would guess that some of these people aren’t normally concerned about the government spending money, but in the defense of the illegal invasion, any argument will do.”
Allan Wall on VDare.com 2-25-17 also AllanWall.info
Allan Wall is married to a Mexican, speaks fluent Spanish and has lived in Mexico and taught school there for years before moving back to the USA. You could say Allan knows walls, in fact, he is a Wall.
You could tell something big was happening in the 2016 primaries. By July 6, 2016 Repub Primary turnout was up 62 percent, Demoleft Primary voting was down 21 percent.

Maybe this was where the Ice Age theory of 1970 began, with predictions of freezing in July: Milton, Florida, located in the panhandle, had four inches of snow on March 6, 1964, the most snow ever recorded in Florida.

“Jeb has been body-snatched,” says Sid Dinerstein, former Palm Beach County, Florida Republican chairman. Sid backed Jeb Bush both times he ran for governor, and switched early to Donald Trump in 2016 for president, a good move. Jeb began to sound like Democrat Lite and it cost him. Jeb bought in to the media’s advice on how to win in November.

Remember the Democrat presidential debate of October 13, 2015? Neither do I and didn’t watch, but the participants were Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley, James Webb and Lincoln Chafee. All were white, professional politicians, representing the party of diversity and inclusion.
They were an older group, too: On Election Day O’Malley would be 53, Sanders would be 75, Webb 70, Clinton 69, Chafee 63. On the Republican side, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio would be only 45. Trump is a young-acting energetic age 70 and should have plenty of miles left in the perpetual motion machine. Thanks to the site TheRegularGuyBelieves.blogspot.com for this information.
Kellyanne Conway and Fox Business Network’s Jamie Colby did something Hillary Clinton couldn’t do – they passed the D.C. Bar exam. Hillary, hyped by big media as super smart, failed the exam. Jamie Colby, now 46 (which still looks young to me) was studying accounting at the University of Miami at age 15 and was a licensed attorney at age 22. She said she wasn’t allowed to take the CPA exam since she was only 19 when she graduated so she went on to law school instead. She passed four bar exams – not bad at all. And yes, she’s quite a looker also, if I’m still permitted to say so.
In 2012, Mitt Romney carried 116 of Kentucky’s 120 counties. If only Mitt had learned the Trump technique of hitting back at his enemies, he could’ve made Obama a one-termer.

Senator Marco Rubio says he’s not holding town halls in Florida, knowing organized leftist protestors will take over the event. Marco says he’s not falling into the liberal trap, probably a good move.

Dear editor,
Well here we go again with these millennials in foolishness. Only this time, exclusively, the female side in another asinine attempt to get attention in absolutely nothing with “International Woman’s Day.” Women last week decided to tell their employers, their husbands and whoever else in a clarion voice “That I’m a liberated woman and I’m not coming to work, and my husband can take care of the kids and do the cooking.”
Let’s see if I can break this down for the weaker sex shall we. As a sweeping generalization men get to work until they die and women get to work if they want or work until they don’t want. They get to have a break for children and expect to go back to work without any questions being asked. Basically, women get all the choices.
Here is the blistering and flummoxing question. I don’t think the 21st century women know what they really want. Particularly, when I listen to liberal women they seem to be angry, and because they’re angry they find phony excuses to justify their anger. Then they turn to a serial liar and crooked politician Hillary Clinton to correct whatever it is that is making them angry. Now there’s an oxymoron.
Now when your boss sees your stupid, goofy protest march on the alphabet soup television media of you making a complete spectacle and embarrassing his company’s name, and then, which is my very sincere and fervent prayer, that your boss will say miss women liberator please repeat after me, “You’re fired!” Was this non-sense worth it?
In the meantime, where’s my sandwich?

The highest abortion rate in Europe: Russia (located primarily in Asia). Yes, those murderous creeps still get foreign aid from the bankrupt (but we can still print money) USA. China, another murderous regime, also receives aid from us. Crazy, isn’t it.
Foreign aid is flatly unconstitutional and should be shut down yesterday. Taxing Americans to send money overseas is obscene. But what do I know about anything. I went to the City of Atlanta public schools.
If you like Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway stock (BRK) and haven’t the $200,000 plus needed to buy a share of the “A” stock or a few thousand to buy the “B” shares, you might think of a mutual fund which holds a large position in the stock, such as Fairfax Financial (FRFHF) or Markel (MKL). Of course, check out any investment closely before you buy anything. I don’t care for Buffett’s political views (he’s the political opposite of his late great father, Nebraska Congressman Howard Buffett) but Warren does possess a nice investment touch. His stock has averaged a gain of around 19.6 percent or so per year for the past fifty years – not bad at all. We try to cover varied subjects on this site.
Oklahoma is OK, as they say. Mitt Romney in 2012 carried every county in the state, as did Juan McPain four years earlier (far better than Barack Hussein).
President Donald Trump was right when he said he inherited a huge mess from his predecessor. As of January 13, 2013 there was $64 billion ($64,000,000,000) in mortgages that were at least six months delinquent, and that was just at Bank of America.
When Indiana native Norm Sloan coached N.C. State to the NCAA basketball championship in 1974, he became the first person to coach his alma mater to the title. Gary Williams at Maryland became the second coach to do so in 2002. To me the NCAA March Madness is the most exciting sports event most years. It’s always wild. Remember Norm Sloan’s flashy sport coats? He also wrote a book Confessions of a Coach about his career in which he was very outspoken and settled a few scores with some of his enemies.[Full Story »]

There are no English requirements for immigrants. The Democrats are completely into this. To them learning English is an “oppressive” requirement. Union heavies are anti-Trump. So are LaRaza, the big medialeft, George Will and the rest of the never-Trumpers. Just check Trump’s enemies – a good reason to vote for him and people responded accordingly. George Will is the media’s idea of a “conservative.” Donald Trump is unacceptable to the elites (good!) and popular with normal working folks.
The American nation we grew up in was in free fall and voters wisely turned to Trump in an attempt to turn it around. Mexico has some of the world’s strictest immigration laws. They take advantage of ours. A second illegal entry into Mexico usually carries a 10 year prison sentence. Illegal entry into America generally is a good bet for the invader.
